Chris Martin’s Playful Warning About Coldplay’s Jumbotron Song
During a recent performance, Chris Martin offered a light-hearted warning to fans about Coldplay’s “The Jumbotron Song.” This concert marked the band’s first show since the viral moment that occurred earlier this week in Boston, where the band inadvertently captured a surprising scene involving two audience members.
A Viral Moment
“The Jumbotron Song” has been a staple of Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres Tour. However, the song gained unexpected fame when it focused on two shellshocked individuals in the audience, later identified as co-workers involved in an affair. This incident led to significant media attention, causing the CEO implicated in the moment to resign after the event turned into a meme.
Madison Concert Highlights
At the recent concert in Madison, Wisconsin, Chris Martin began the performance of "The Jumbotron Song" with a humorous disclaimer to the audience. He engaged with fans by saying, “We’d like to say hello to some of you in the crowd,” indicating that the band would be using cameras to spotlight audience members. He cheekily added, “So please, if you haven’t done your makeup, do your makeup now.”
Changes to Jumbotron Usage
To avoid any further awkwardness, no couples were featured during the song in Madison, as reported by People. This decision came after the awkward situation in Boston, where the intertwined fate of two attendees sparked considerable speculation.
Fallout from the Event
Following the viral incident, Astronomer CEO Andy Byron stepped down after being seen closely embracing Chief Human Resources Officer Kristin Cabot during the concert. In a now-famous clip, the two tried to duck away from the camera, which exacerbated the rumors surrounding their relationship. As Martin humorously noted from the stage, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
